Benefits of technology

The composition achieves faster curing, improved mechanical and chemical resistance, and favorable wood wetting properties, making it suitable for various substrates with reduced solvent usage.

Problems solved by technology

However, alkyd resins have relatively slow “dry” or cure times, particularly at ambient temperatures.
However, the so-called “through-dry time” (complete oxidation of unsaturation in the fatty acids forming the alkyd part of the modified resin) of such coatings is longer than in non-modified alkyds due to the decreased degree of unsaturation in the alkyd as a result of copolymerisation with the vinyl monomers.
An additional drawback is that paint formulations containing vinylated alkyd resins require greater amounts of solvent, due to the increased molar mass and Tg of the vinylated alkyd.

Vinyl Functional Alkyd Resin and Vinyl Functional Polyol

[0133]In a standard synthetic resin reactor, 62 kg of benzoic acid, 105 kg of coconut oil fatty acid, 87 kg of pentaerythritol, and 70 kg of phthalic anhydride were heated to 230° C. Azeotropic distillation at 230° C. using toluene as azeotrope former and subsequent dilution to a mass fraction of solids 80% with toluene yielded 373 kg of an alkyd resin having an acid number of 3.0 mg / g, a dynamic viscosity, diluted with toluene to a mass fraction of solids of 50%, of 45 mPa·s, and a hydroxyl number of 120 mg / g. The alkyd resin was mixed at 90° C. with 87 kg of glycerol propoxylate having an average molar mass of 355 g / mol, 2.5 kg of p-toluene sulfonic acid, and 1.2 kg hydroquinone monomethyl ether were added as catalyst and inhibitor, respectively. After addition of 78.5 kg of acrylic acid the reaction mass was heated to 125° C. while a flow of 3 m3 / h of lean air with an oxygen content of 7% was bubbled through the reactor. At ...

[0134]As in example R1, 137 kg of cotton oil fatty acid, 87 kg of pentaerythritol, and 74 kg of phthalic anhydride were heated to 230° C. Azeotropic distillation at 230° C. using toluene as azeotrope former and subsequent dilution of the resulting resins to a mass fraction of solids of 80% with toluene yielded 373 kg of an alkyd resin having an acid number of 1.5 mg / g, a dynamic viscosity, measured on a solution diluted with toluene to a mass fraction of solids of 50%, of 40 mPa·s, and a hydroxyl number of 210 mg / g. Into this alkyd resin, 2.5 kg of p-toluene sulphonic acid and 1.2 kg hydroquinone monomethyl ether were added as catalyst and inhibitor, respectively. After adding 85 kg of acrylic acid the reaction mass was heated to 125° C. while a flow of 3 m3 / h of lean air with an oxygen content of 7% was bubbled through the reactor. At 125° C., azeotropic distillation using toluene as azeotrope former was performed until an acid number of less than 30 mg / g was reac...

[0135]In a standard synthetic resin reactor, 210 kg of soybean oil and 55 kg of pentaerythritol were transesterified at 265° C. using 0.03 g of lithium hydroxide as catalyst, and after adding 82 kg of phthalic anhydride at 200° C., the reaction mixture was heated to 230° C. Azeotropic distillation at 230° C. using toluene as azeotrope former and subsequent dilution to a mass fraction of solids of 80% with toluene yielded 422 kg of an alkyd resin having an acid number of 5.0 mg / g, a dynamic viscosity measured on a 60% strength solution in toluene, of 250 mPa·s, and a hydroxyl number of 90 mg / g. This alkyd resin was mixed at 90° C. with 2.5 kg of p-toluene sulphonic acid and 1.2 kg of hydroquinone monomethyl ether, as catalyst and inhibitor, respectively. After adding 42.2 kg of acrylic acid the reaction mass was heated to 125° C. while a flow of 3 m3 / h of lean air with an oxygen content of 7% was bubbled through the reactor. At 125° C., azeotropic distillation using...

This invention relates to a radiation curable aqueous coating composition comprising: —from 1 to 99% by weight, relative to the total weight of (1) and (2), of at least one radiation curable aqueously dispersed polyester resin composition (1) comprising an emulsifier D and the reaction product AC of a hydroxy functional polyester resin A and an olefinically unsaturated compound C which can be radically polymerized and which is attached to the polyester resin backbone by an ester linkage or a urethane linkage, and—from 1 to 99% by weight, relative to the total weight of (1) and (2), of at least one other olefinically unsaturated compound (2) selected from the group of: water-dispersible compounds (21); water-soluble compounds (22); and / or water-compatible compounds (23) that have a weight average molecular weight of at least 450 Dalton and are different from the reaction product AC.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to radiation curable aqueous coating compositions which can be applied to a variety of substrates, and provide these substrates with coating films having good mechanical and chemical resistance. The invention further relates to a process for preparing such coating compositions and to their uses.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Polyester resins, and among these particularly alkyd resins are one of the most common binder class used for ambient-cure, solvent-based coatings. The resistance properties of traditional solvent-borne alkyd resins are developed via autooxydative crosslinking of the paint film when subjected to air. Crosslinking occurs when the activated methylene groups in the unsaturated fatty acids or oils of the alkyd are oxidised in air to the corresponding hydroperoxides which subsequently decompose to generate free radicals, thus resulting in an oxidative crosslinking process. This oxidative crosslinking process is usua...
